Fish and chip van for events for your event in Kimpton
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. We are frequently asked to cater feeding event crew and music and food festivals, with mushy peas, chips and sausage and chips.
At a fête or show near Kimpton, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Set a time for helpers’ food
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Service time
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer fêtes in Kimpton have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
